RPGM - Abandoned - The Fate Of Choices [v1.1a] [Broken English]

[Reviewed game version 1.1a]

The Fate of Choice is an unpolished gem.

Does it have its shortcomings? Absolutely. The music's conspicuously default rpgmaker, the resource management, while novel, gets repetitive across 100 days (yeah, Stamina, Lust, talkin' bout you), and, well, the grammar can be sloppy.

Overall, though, the game's positives far outweigh its negatives.

The art, while of uneven quality, is very good on average. The story and characters have been written with care and passion — and you can tell by little crumbs of characterization like Lisa's love of snacks conflicting with her desire to drop a few pounds.

And by golly, is that an actual English voice-over performed by a native speaker? Why, yes, I believe that is.

While it's marketed as an NTR game, the vanilla, loving husband-wife scenes were surprisingly touching, if a bit repetitive. That's a problem in general with the game's sex scenes. They're almost universally great the first time around, but once the rival prince is finger-banging Lisa for the eighth time cause her lust bar reached 100/100, you get a wee bit sick of seeing it.

The game's looking like it's complete now, but I do wish it'd expanded on its routes. What's there isn't lacking.; there are a whole lot of good scenes in both the NTR and non-NTR routes. But I'd love if Lilith + Lisa threesome material wasn't restricted to the NTR route, side-quest characters were featured in a few sex scenes, etc.

Maybe a friend-group orgy would detract from the relatively grounded tone (for a hentai) which is one of the game's strengths though. Despite the magic NTR curse, the characters felt surprisingly like characters (by hentai standards), instead of cut-outs.

Maybe that's what happens when the English isn't machine-translated.

[1.0]
I'd LOVE to give this game 5* review, but I just cannot. The author made a lot of work so this is a really good game but his lack of experience really shows. The story in its premise is really nice, fight between the husband and Chad Prince with paranormal mystery in the background. And it would work really well should the scenes play properly. Mechanics are quite good as well, you can choose wether you need more money and less love or the other way round, keeping track of three major stats that show if FMC loves you or the Chad. But then again, it doesn't really work. It's hard to understand what causes what and by how much. And the effects are hardly visible, FMC with -9999 love for MC will still be sad about cheating on him beacuse the stats are mostly just visual in the "check stats" menu. Until she doesn't. And the stats barely have anything to do with it. Pregnancy motive is a nice add-on, too bad it's not implemented properly. The best part of the game tho? ART. Lisa is hot, demon girl is also hot. Hand drawn males are also pleasing (Chad) or displeasing (MC). Nice. Limited choice to two routes: full-on NTR where MC is a somewhat willing cuck or love route is sad too. I'd love to see Lisa get bun in the oven by Chad but with husband being so sure that it's his. Or love route with side hopping. Or anything really. Despite everything this is till one of my favourite games ever, but just because I like it doesn't mean it's good. 3/5 is valid, but if you aren't as much into cuckolding as I am you may even see my mark as 2/5 and if bugs and mediocre english makes you puke then it's 1/5. I sincerely hope that this game will get fixed a bit becuase it has GREAT potential. Just isn't polished enough

I don't understand the love for this game. 4 stars is 2 too many... at least. Don't get me wrong, it gets 2 stars because the creator put time and effort into this game... but not enough to warrant more. The mechanics are... meh. Scenes jump and replay over and over. One scene she's against everything, the next, she loves the Prince. I think I got to day 60 and the game was so damn bizarrely out of order I just stopped trying and just pushed to the end. After a game full of choices, some worth it some not, you don't get anything other than 2 simple endings. There are variations but... no, not really, they're fluff. Either the husband turns into a full on cuck, or its a pure love route. Technically there may be a third ending where you kill the 'chad thundercock' another reviewer stated... but it crashes right after you make that choice 1.0 is meant to be the first full 'release' but I feel like I just got Cyberpunk'd

good things
1 good story line for NTR route and love one
2 you can chose what route doing base on your prefers
3 easy to play and understand the main story and side quest's
4 for now a good amount of hentai scene
bad thing
1 way to much bug i hope once the game is finish they all fix
2 the game seems to be short
3 lacks on other characters hentai scene

an interesting NTR story and the art used is also impressive. besides sometimes there are some bugs, but I'm sure this game will be interesting later.
The developer is very open with everyone and can accept criticism and suggestions well.

This review was made on the 0.65 version of the game:

This game is pretty average so far. Basically the woman you marry has to destroy the demon king. The interesting part is you don't join her and take the role of stay at home husband till she returns. She then returns after a long battle, and you both proceed to open up your cafe. Unfortunately your waifu is in debt cause she borrowed lots of moneys while destroying the demon king (What a gut punch right? 'I helped destroy the person who was gonna kill you all, all I need is a little help' 'NO! DEBT FOR LIFE!')

Then this prince comes along to try to steal your waifu. Can you punch him across the face? No unfortunately. Hopefully in a later update.

Anyways, there's not a lot of world. Like you can only talk to essential people and thats it. Everyone else is basically just cut outs you can't talk to.

Oh yeah, and of course the prince is a Chad Thundercock while our MC is, of course, a small pre-mature ejaculator. Of course.

Basically, this game can play as Average NTR RPG. I'm hoping for later updates to prove me wrong.

One of the highlights is that the sex scenes are actually pretty good. Even the MC's are good believe it or not. I was honestly expecting just one measly scene for him, but nope, he's honestly working on a love route with actual sex scenes rivaling Prince Thundercock.

If you want to support, go right ahead. I'd recommend waiting and seeing. This game has potential, but it's not living up to it for now. Hopefully it does in the future.

[Rev @ v0.4]

Has potential, needs work.

Art's on the simple side of average. Character designs are nice and just a bit more work would help a ton.

Writing is poor, or the translation is. I'm honestly not sure as the issues I see aren't the typical machine translation idiosyncrasies. Characterization is again fine just like the visual design of them, but the moment-to-moment fluency in the writing is weak and halting.

Nothing I saw in the porn bothered me. There's potential here, too.

The technical aspect of the RPGMaker engine used here really hurt the score. Common events can and do trigger on a few loosely-related stat triggers, meaning it's easy to get a glut of tedious mini-events and even the same mini-events repeating through multiple iterations at the same time. I had one of these loops soft lock the game with the MC replaced by an invisible man that couldn't open any doors and was forever imprisoned with the Prince in the Prince's room. The map design seems amateurish and rushed and the menu looks sloppy. It's funny in a sad way that the engine parallels the plot somewhat: both the player and the MC are stuck battling inane RPG mechanics while somebody else gets to enjoy all the tits offscreen.

TLDR: Watchin it cuz I like some of the themes presented, but neeeeeeds work.

[Edit @ The Fate Of Choices [v1.1a] :
Bumpin to 3 stars for improvements made, but still doesn't meet my idea of 'good'. There's a ton of content, but late game has what's either an unfortunate bug or a poorly-planned feature where even if chickadee's favor and compatibility are beyond max she gets stuck in a loop of not horny enough to do the MC at night but too horny and gets auto-cucked by the antag. If I wanted guaranteed autopilot NTR I'd go hold Skip Dialog on any of the billions of VNs out there.

It's is a first release in term of content. The art is enticing and the story is your typical NTR.

As of version v0.3 it has 2 scenes from the gameplay but there are quite a few more pictures in the folder that aren't use yet. (Or i could be missing something)

If you want to find out the story and characters you can get a good idea, but if you are looking for lewd content i would wait for another 2-3 updates.

This developer has just created a good work of art with a short story on it as a new comer to h-game and i loved it, like to see how many ver. of this game gonna comes out.

Quite good work despite this being the first release of him/her.

I think there's two different kind descriptions that suit to this game.

1. A wife who has a gentle personality, is well suited to house hold also to her husband, is versatile enough to be envied by other people to fall into unusual pleasure activities.

2. A married woman who gradually falls into pleasure and involved interacting with many sexual activities only because of her husband got tiny dick and could not get satisfied, also can't resist the charm of his.

Storyline of characters in this game is also interesting but need more information to be added into text board also voices.
